CHORUS

Boozing, boozing, when you are dry

Boozing, boozing, suits you and I

Some does it open and more on the sly

but all of us likes to go boozing!

Now what do you think I've been doing all day?
Boozing, bloody well boozing!
How do you think I've been spending me pay?
Boozing, bloody well boozing!
Don't say I am wrong for you know I'm not right
Don't argue the point for you know I can't fight
Where would you like me to take you tonight?
Boozing, bloody well boozing!

CHORUS

Now what are the joys of the labouring man?
Boozing, bloody well boozing!
What is he doing whenever he can?
Boozing, bloody well boozing!
Comes home on a Saturday, gives his wife all
She goes off to the market, makes many a call
What brings her home clinging onto the wall?
Boozing, bloody well boozing!

CHORUS

What do the Salvation Army sure drown?
Boozing, bloody well boozing!
What are they preaching in every town?
Boozing, bloody well boozing!
What they preach they don't practise, of that there's no doubt
For at the street corners they stand and they shout
What are they doing when their lights are gone out?
Boozing, bloody well boozing!

CHORUS

And what is the pastime of those on the sea?

Boozing, bloody well boozing!

And what is the ration they scoff down with glee?

Boozing, bloody well boozing!

They have and haul halyards, like times gone before

And earn every penny they take from the store

But on what do they blow when they come back on shore?

Boozing, bloody well boozing!

CHORUS

And will we proudly continue in here?

Boozing, bloody well boozing!

With whisky and white wine and plenty of beer?

Boozing, bloody well boozing!

It's the past time of heroes, blue collar and white,

They sip it, they drain it, they drink with delight,

So how weill we honour them on this fine night?

Boozing, bloody well boozing!
